Amina's Voice

This was a relatively brief, easy read about a Muslim family living in the U.S. in the present day and some of the struggles that they go through.  The main character is Amina, a sixth grader.  She is adjusting to middle school and is jealous as her best friend adds a new girl to their group.  I found the story a bit boring until the end, where a tragedy happens.  I do think reading this will enlighten some students about the struggles of Muslims in today's United States.  (FIC KHA)
